Mr A EL Gawad - Bolton

*Full Tummy Tuck with Hernia Repair*

I've spent the last five years researching to find a surgeon who I could trust to carry out my procedure. Mr El Gawad is a very gifted professional gentleman who made me feel comfortable and in safe hands from the very first meeting to my ongoing care as I'm currently five weeks post-op and the results are amazing!

I would say mine was a challenging repair, a large piece of apron skin was removed and I now have a perfectly flat stomach and neat belly button I can be proud of after three previous c sections. I'd also like to say thank you to Rachel who is fantastic at making everything run smoothly and answers any queries regardless of the time of day/night, nothing is too much trouble.

I've never experienced anything like the excellent level of customer care I have received and the end result is outstanding. This surgery has been life-changing for my confidence! Mr El Gawad you are a truly outstanding surgeon.

Thank you so much, Mr El Gawad and Rachel x

I had a breast augmentation 18 years ago they were 800cc implants with Transform and I have been wanting them removed for the last 6 years! I had visited several different surgeons in London & Somerset over the last few years but wasn’t completely comfortable with any of them! For the reasons that because my implants were so large they would be difficult to explant and none of them seemed very confident in explanting them! I’ve spent a long time miserable and unhappy with how I look! I came across Mr El-Gawad one evening through WhatClinic having almost given up. He messaged me back straight away that evening! He listened to me and was very understanding but most importantly very honest with me! and confident in his abilities to help me! I travelled from Somerset to Manchester for a consultation and I Instantly knew he was the man I wanted to perform my surgery! After having the consultation with Mr El-Gawad I decided I wanted him to perform my tummy tuck also! I spoke with Rachel his secretary to arrange my surgery date, I had lots of questions and Rachel his secretary was always at the end of the phone to answer my questions! I am now 4 days post-op and couldn’t be happier! I am now back in Somerset and Mr El-Gawad is still texting me to check I am okay! If you are in any doubt? DO NOT BE! You will not be disappointed! The nurses at Pall Mall Medical were also very helpful and kind.

Mr El-Gawad.....Thank you! You truly are a miracle-worker and thank you, Rachel, for all your help and always answering the phone to me!

Wow-what an experience I have had with Mr Elgaward and his team! A wonderful one at that. For the last few years, I have been visiting Mr Elgaward after having breast surgery done by another surgeon in Manchester that did not go to plan and had left me in a real mess.

I went to see Mr Elgaward after my first breast surgery with another surgeon and he said how upset he was with that the surgeon had done to me.

How expensive it would be for me to correct the work that the surgeon has done and for me to go back where I had originally had it done for them to rectify. Rather than his own self-gain with pocketing money from me he suggested I went back to who did my surgery in the first instance.

Sadly second time round with the same surgeon and my results only looked worse. Straight to Mr Elgaward, I went knowing I would not trust anyone else to perform surgery on me again! I was worried. I thought maybe surgery is just not for me! My body doesn’t handle it well or something. Mr Elgaward reassured me I would be fine in his care and I certainly have been.

He was honest, sincere, kind and understanding throughout all my time in his care.

I arrived for my surgery on Tuesday morning and within half an hour I had my pre-op and was ready for theatre. I was calm as I knew I was in the best hands possible! I awoke from my surgery after a few hours.
Come 10:30 pm at night Mr Elgaward was still there visiting his patients checking upon them. How lovely! He must have been so tired after being at work for 7 am!

I received a lovely bunch of flowers on day 3 post-op from Rachel and Mr Elgaward which were so beautiful and the card I shall keep. Thank you for everything you have all done for me.

I am 4 days post-op now from a breast uplift, muscle repair, hernia repair lipo and tummy tuck. My breast implant and uplift I had on its own with the last surgeon was a million times worse than all of these surgeries put together.

I have not been on any painkillers after my surgery with Mr Elgaward
I am in slight discomfort but I imagined it to be a lot worse than it is.
I can not stand 100% straight just yet but I gather soon I shall be.
I am shouting from the rooftops for people to not think twice about surgery with Mr Elgaward and his team. If anyone can fix you it is he!

I am so so happy I went to Mr Elgaward.

I can’t wait to see my results in a few weeks time and finally be able to go swimming with my children. Thank goodness my loose skin has been put in the bin for good!

On a final note; Rachel his secretary has also been a lovely lady. Rachel seemed just as excited as me for my surgery with messaging me a count down of days I had left until it was finally my turn. She would respond to any queries really quickly and has been so caring.

You have given me a life I only imagined I would have! I can’t wait to see my before and after pictures and share them with you all.

I recently enquired with Mr El Gawad regarding a ptosis of my upper left eyelid. Mr El Gawad’s secretary Rachel was extremely helpful and responded to my enquiry very quickly. She helped me to arrange a video consultation with Mr El Gawad within a day and couldn’t do enough to assist. In my consultation with Mr El Gawad he was very honest in all his advice and what he thought was the best course of action for me. I really felt as though he cared about my health and wanted to help me resolve my issue in the correct way, even though this meant suggesting holding off on surgery for now. As Mr El Gawad suggested I ask my GP for a referral to a neurologist, he was happy to provide me with a letter to assist with this and didn’t ask for a penny in return! I can’t fault the service I have received from both Mr El Gawad and Rachel, should I need further assistance in the future I would not hesitate to come back.

I am about a week and a half post op of breast augmentation surgery I'm feeling great and my boobs look AMAZING! When I started researching I was looking at some big clinics around Manchester but felt that they were like cattle markets so started looking closer to home. I chose The Beaumont hospital as I had been there as an NHS patient and liked the feel of the place. I started researching plastic surgeons and decided on Mr El-Gawad and after my first consultation, I knew I had picked the right surgeon for me. I got nothing but honesty from Mr El-Gawad, he gave me all my options and we discussed everything I wanted from my surgery. Mr El Gawad is such a lovely man and his guidance has been exceptional. The nurses at this hospital were great and Mr El-Gawads secretary Rachel has been my lifeline for any questions every step of my journey I feel like I have known her for ages as she always sends me messages to check on my progress. I also received a bunch of flowers a few days after my surgery which was the loveliest gesture. The day of my surgery I was put completely at ease despite being nervous when I first arrived. I honestly can't fault any part of what this team of people have done and have already recommended them on other forums that I have been on.

Where do I begin? Mr El Gawad is a charming gentleman and a brilliant surgeon who takes his work and continuing professional development very seriously. It is clear from both his demeanour and that of every member of his team that they have the utmost respect and consideration for their clients and for each other. Everyone, from Mr El Gawad to the domestic staff, was kind and caring at all times. I felt that I was in the safest and most capable hands from the first time I met Mr El Gawad. He was able to answer all my questions (I had prepared quite a few) and met with me on two separate occasions before I booked my operation. I never felt under any pressure. In fact, I actually felt confident that I had chosen the best surgeon during our first meeting, having seen some images of his previous surgeries and from chatting with him. I was not disappointed with my decision. I had my surgery (full abdominoplasty with liposuction and abdominal muscle repair) at Whiston Hospital which is a high-tech, modern hospital with a dedicated plastics department (I believe it’s the second largest in the UK). Every aspect of my stay at the hospital was excellent. The standard of care was exceptional from every member of staff. I am convinced that was the reason I recovered very quickly; I had my surgery on a Saturday, I was completely free of painkillers by the following Tuesday and back home on a Thursday. It has been four months since my operation and I feel fantastic! I am fit and strong although I am still not allowed to lift heavy weights or do abdominal crunches which is simply a sensible precaution. I should mention that not only do I have a flat tummy which is great but I also have a very tidy and natural-looking relocated belly button and perfectly symmetrical abdominal scar which is hidden nicely behind my new bikini briefs which I was unable to wear pre-op. Mr El Gawad is an artist when it comes to “contouring” because my tummy and flanks are beautifully smooth; even better than pre-childbirth! Mr El Gawad’s Secretary, Rachel, also deserves a mention as she was and continues to be very friendly, helpful and accessible, always striving to provide excellent customer service. I could go on and on. I just wish that I had had the surgery years ago. I am more than happy to recommend Mr Plastic Surgeon.

Lovely hospital great doctor. I was a very nervous patient but Dr El Gawad reassured me every step of the way. I was initially worried about the scarring on black skin. I had heard about Ketoid and had them form on my scars as a child. The thought of having a keloid scar was what scared me the most.

I am proud to confirm 8-week post-op that the scar is hardly there. The Incision is so tidy. I found the clinic's atmosphere very relaxing and the staff generally very helpful.

Great experience all around I can’t fault anything.

I was so nervous about having the abdominoplasty plus liposuction but right from the start, Dr El Gawad reassured me I was in the right hands. I discussed with the doctor at the initial consultation about my experience with keloid on an old scar from when I was a child and I wanted to make sure I would not get a keloid scar across my incision. And he never let me down.

My main worry was about the scarring. I can tell you now that 8 weeks post-op I have healed so well and the scar is so tidy. Even I, almost can’t tell there was an incision on my tummy, two months ago.

The service I received from the medical team during my stay was great. Plus, Rachel, Dr El Gawad’s secretary was always on hand to sort every little detail out. Amazing operation outcome. I feel and look good. The results are beyond my expectations.

I was reviewed by Mr EL-Gawad following my request for a second opinion to potentially carry out corrective surgery for a previous abdominoplasty & breast augmentation with uplift I had undergone in February 2017.

From my first consultation in November 2018, I felt reassured that moving forward with treatment options, a clear plan & giving me time to reflect on what had been discussed in order to make a decision & exploring further the possibility of surgery was going to be the right choice.

I had my second consultation with Mr EL-Gawad in May this year due to planned family holidays, work commitments & thinking the decision through. The abdominoplasty & revision of scarring bi-lateral areola was recently carried out as planned, which I am more than satisfied to know I made the right decision!

In my personal & professional opinion the attention to detail, precision, professionalism, bedside manner, enthusiasm, communication, expertise & commitment Mr EL-Gawad offers is outstanding & excellent value!

I would go above & beyond to recommend Mr EL-Gawad!

I had a tummy tuck with liposuction on 28/07/2019, I am 3 days post-op, and have just gone home after having been cleared by the nurses and doctors in the hospital. I am already able to walk straighter and I see a massive difference in the shape and size of my stomach. It’s had to even believe it’s mine after being so used to seeing excess skin for the past few years! I had this surgery after losing a lot of weight a few years ago but I was unhappy with my stubborn fat around my stomach and hanging loose skin that just wouldn’t go.

I had done a lot of research on surgeons, and before my consultation with Dr Gawad I looked at his before and after pictures as well as reading reviews on his patient's experiences and I was very happy with what I saw.

From my first consultation with Dr Gawad, I instantly felt at ease and knew he was the surgeon for me. He told me everything I need to know and answered all queries. Before and after the surgery I have received so much support from Dr Gawad and the staff at Whiston Hospital. I even had a lovely boutique of flowers waiting for me when I returned home today!

Dr Gawad is a talented surgeon who really cares about his patients and I would recommend him to anyone considering the tummy tuck and/or lipo.

Lower face and Neck Lift and Platysmoplasty. Mr El Gawad made me feel at ease during both consultations and answered all my questions.

On the day of surgery he was there to greet me and made me feel totally at ease. I had an overnight stay and all the staff at Beaumont Hospital were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble. I am one week post op and feel absolutely fine so much so that I am already back at work. Pain and discomfort was minimal and so far I am very pleased with the results. Once all the bruising and swelling has gone I am sure it will look even better.

I would recommend Mr El Gawad and the Beaumont without hesitation.

I was given first-class treatment by Mr A EL Gawad and his staff. I had a ruptured implant, had them removed and had an uplift I am very lucky and very pleased.
